ETA on New Policy? Gone Forever? Any Updates? What's the Deal?

I wonder how many Cavs fans are stuck with their LeBron related names.

I think the number of Bosh and Lebron names are why this is in limbo. Maybe start with accounts more than 5 years old and work up to 1 year old. That would be an easier way to deal with being overloaded all at once.

I think there might be an electronic fix in the works though, one where you can do it yourself at reasonable intervals.

Weve been delayed in bringing this back.

I hope to have news within the next month.

It takes a month to figure out if you guys should bring back name changes or not?

Were simply deciding on policy and are simply delayed at the moment.

Maybe changing your avatar is a good start.

I removed my LBJ sig, but I don't see any reason why my avatar needs to change.

It is in fact against the rules to simply start a new name right?

I'm hoping this is at least resolved before the season. Either to simply allow a new account be created or some sort of solution to allowing name changes again.

This will likely be resolved by the start of the season.

Hang tight everyone.

The regular season or pre-season? I personally think the season starts with training camp.
